Theft of blinds in tournaments

It's no secret that for some reason, many players in tournaments are generally absent from the game itself.
That is, it turns out that at the table of 9 people playing, say 4-5 players.
And then the stealing of the blinds comes to the rescue!
Favorite thing in the game sometimes at different stages.
Suppose you are to the left of the button.
After you 4 non-playing players, 2 tight-passive, respectively, players in the small and big blind. It's logical to do 3 big blinds. Missing players are automatically discarded. Tight ones too, because only the strongest hands play. The small blind also folds - this is a frequent occurrence. Sometimes the game continues with the button. But still it is an interesting tactic. This is just an example. I tried to explain what I see in the game very often. If you have any examples, I'll be glad to see and read them)
Good luck everyone!

On the flip-side of that coin are the players that are sat-out/inactive on purpose, just lying in wait for you. It happens!

What was weird? Are you calling me weird, or that it is weird that people actually sit out on purpose and wait for you?

He's a bit right...
Deep in the tourney I always sit out when it's my BB and wait for 5-6 rounds. I can sit back at any moment and this way i don't have to fold trash hands all the time, plus it provoces people at the table to play more loose.
